Chapter 349: Meeting Ke Yuan

"Further studies? We already graduated!"

What graduate student wants to go to school! 【Host, I'm so bored too!】

Su Yu went to study, so Wulongcha was bored.

【If you're bored, go keep an eye on that bastard Jiang Jizhou. See what he's doing? Has he gotten his comeuppance yet!】

【Sure thing!】

Wulongcha zoomed off with a whoosh.

Su Yu hugged her books and went to class.

Jiang Family: "What are you throwing a temper about? Go abroad for a while, and when you come back no one will remember this matter."

Shui Wanhua was quite disgusted with Su Yu. From the moment she arrived at her home, she hadn't had a single good day! Her husband cheated during their marriage, she was diagnosed with mental illness, nominally labeled with postpartum depression, her sons were sent away, all for fear she would harm them.

Afterward, Su Yu showed no gratitude and kept spilling secrets online, and now she'd even caused her precious son to be cursed at by ignorant gossips—the child didn't even want to go to school anymore.

Su Yu herself was useless and got beaten, so how could she blame her son? Jiang Jizhou gritted his teeth, "Dad said, change the heir!"

"What? Change to who?!"

"Second brother!"

Jiang Jizhou thought about how he had worked so hard studying all these years, only to lose the position of heir over this matter—he was more wrongly accused than Dou E!

Both were sons; whether the eldest or the second son took over made little difference to Shui Wanhua.

Shui Wanhua said nothing more. Jiang Jizhou looked indignant—whether father or mother, they were both people who only valued profit! They had clearly looked like they cared about him before, yet now said nothing. They were probably thinking about how to curry favor with the second brother, right?

Malice surged in Jiang Jizhou's heart, and he spoke recklessly, "If you had discovered back then that Jiang Xiangxiang had that kind of ability, we could have locked her up at home as my tool—how great would that have been? You still insisted on sending her out as a marriage alliance tool. Aren't you afraid of being schemed against in return?"

If Shui Wanhua had discovered Jiang Xiangxiang's ability earlier and locked her in the basement, the one called a genius now would definitely be him!

Shui Wanhua ignored Jiang Jizhou and walked out. She needed to check on her second son—he had just become the heir, so he must have a lot to deal with.

"Look at the trash you gave birth to. If Jiang Yuzhen had even half an ounce of ability, you wouldn't have been afraid to leave the house all these years!"

Aside from hiding money and embezzling money, Jiang Yuzhen was good for nothing! Academically she could only go through the arts route, costing the family a lot of money!

A while ago she even dared to show off at school and got reported.

Their uncle suppressed it, but his distaste for the siblings grew heavier and heavier! Especially since the Shui Family was also having a hard time, which dragged their Jiang Family down from its former glory.

"If she could have a good reputation, you could have arranged an engagement for her and gotten a whole pile of benefits in return!"

"What a pity—nobody wants her!"

"Other people her age are being called geniuses!"

"At her age, she still needs you to grovel and beg for mercy before her grandmother on her behalf!"

"Why didn't you just kill her back then!"

Jiang Jizhou got angrier the more he spoke! Everyone around him was a useless teammate, making his own life miserable too!

Shui Wanhua's eyes turned bloodshot, and she began smashing things wildly in Jiang Jizhou's room.

Jiang Jizhou had long been prepared for this. He called his father to say his mother had fallen ill again, and he left for abroad that very night.

Jiang Jizhou knew clearly that Jiang Qiyu's word was law—he was the highest authority in the Jiang Family. After Jiang Jizhou lost his inheritance rights, even a good-for-nothing like Jiang Yuzhen had a better chance of inheriting the Jiang Family than him.

Taking the "separation allowance" Jiang Qiyu gave him, Jiang Jizhou did not return to Capital University to study.

He had already been expelled!

It just hadn't been announced!

Universities abroad were outrageously expensive. Jiang Jizhou's meager funds were nowhere near enough for college, and even supporting himself was hard! Forced by livelihood, Jiang Jizhou returned to the country and hid.

He had quietly inquired—Shui Wanhua had been hospitalized. Not at a hospital, but at a sanatorium.

……

【Host, can you believe it? The Jiang Jizhou that Shui Wanhua painstakingly cultivated drove her mad! And the Jiang Yuzhen that Shui Wanhua went to great lengths to protect proposed sending her to a sanatorium!】 Truly "filial" to the extreme!

【This is her karmic retribution!】

Su Yu and Wulongcha chatted while setting up an artificial intelligence program.

The two of them were getting a bit bored staying at the base. Whenever Wulongcha thought that Su Yu might spend her entire life here, it just felt hopeless.

Su Yu and Wulongcha thought about it for a long time and ultimately decided to create a next-generation artificial intelligence to liberate themselves.

Hand over an artificial intelligence in exchange for their free life.

Creating an artificial intelligence that was ahead of its time yet still grounded in the current era was somewhat challenging for Wulongcha.

If it created an artificial intelligence that was too powerful, it worried that present-day humans wouldn't be able to control it, and humans would become that artificial intelligence's puppets.

【Host, it's time—let's go out for a walk!】

【Okay!】

Su Yu put down her laptop and went out for a stroll.

"Uncle Ke?"

Ke Yuan—that unlucky fellow who had been schemed against by both Shui Shouhong and Yan Ranran.

Why was he here?

"You are?"

"I'm Su Yu. My dad is Su Yi, and my uncle is Su Xi!"

"Oh, it's you. Your uncle brought you here to play?"

"No, I came by myself. I work here."

Ke Yuan, who wasn't very well-informed about outside news and had been numbing himself within the team, looked up in surprise at Su Yu. "You're not joking?"

"Nope! My supervisors are Sister Luyingying and Sister Zhaoshizhe!"

Luyingying and Zhaoshizhe? Ke Yuan knew they were from the computer team. For Su Yu to be at that place, her computing talent must be exceptional! "When you're free, you can come find me to hang out. Uncle will take you to see the big market and stalls here."

Busy as they were, the base also had regular holidays, letting everyone buy, sell, or trade things at the base's big market during a set time period! "Okay, thank you, Uncle!"

Ke Yuan led the team away. After returning to the dormitory, he contacted Su Xi, asking about Su Yu's condition.

Su Yu then sought out Luyingying.

"Older sister, what is a big market? What is a stall?"

Luyingying wiped her sweat with a towel, "It's the place where, when we have time off here, everyone gets together to play and relax—has someone told you about it?"

"Exactly, you won't let me hack in to check, will you!"

Luyingying's mouth twitched. They had a reason for not letting Su Yu browse their internal network. If Su Yu really went through it all, given her abilities, she'd have to stay in the base for life.

Just the base's internal network alone contains plenty of things that can't be made public. Some of it is useless, like the leaders' salaries and basic benefits, but it still can't be disclosed. If Su Yu saw it, the leaders could never feel at ease letting her leave.

"Didn't you arrange to meet your family and friends? How do you still have time to go to the market and stalls?"

"Can I bring my family to have a look around?"

"【Anyway, my family hasn't seen it before.】"

Because of Su Yu's special nature, Luyingying didn't refuse right away, "I'll go file a report and apply."

"Thank you, older sister!"

Su Yu bounced away, while Luyingying fell back into the mire, half of it covering her body; the cold made her mind clearer, "I'm under so much pressure!"

Su Yu poked her head out, "When you're stressed, you can roll in the sand—it's more comfortable than rolling in mud!"

"Good night, babies! ~"
